Counter
Pool and Spa Supplies at Barker's in Brownsburg
One counter on East Main for chemicals, test strips, pumps, filters, covers and the parts nobody thinks about until the pool stops working.
What runs out in the middle of the season
Chemicals go first. Then the test strips, then the one part that fails on a Saturday afternoon with the whole family already in swimsuits. A pool or spa that gets used a lot burns through supplies faster than anyone plans for.
Replacement parts bought on a guess are the other trouble. The wrong size of fitting, a motor that almost matches, a cover that is an inch short. Having someone behind a counter who can look at the old piece in your hand saves a second trip.

How the counter at 1565 East Main works
Family owned, independent business: that's how Barker's describes itself, and we're not like the larger chain stores. You get personalized attention from people who know pools, not a shelf and a self-checkout.
The shelves carry pool and spa chemicals, maintenance supplies, toys and games, pool and spa covers, pumps and filters, heaters, steps and ladders, aromatherapy kits, testing strips, pool vacuums and more, plus the SUN Pool & Spa Products shown on the sign out front.
If something isn't on the shelf, ask. We'll order it for you and have it delivered to you quickly. Payment is easy too: cash, personal checks and all major credit cards.
Bring the old part or the label
Walking in with the worn-out part, or the label off the empty jug, is the fastest way to leave with the right thing. Tricia Andrew put it this way in a Google review: "Regina and everyone at Barkers is amazing to work with."
From March to October the store is open Monday to Friday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, closed Sundays and public holidays. From November to February it's Monday to Friday 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, with weekends closed. Call (317) 852-8979 first if you want to check that an item is in.

Not sure which group your problem sits in? A water sample answers that fast, and we test water at the counter. Pool builds and rebuilds are the other half of the sign, so new pools and spas and renovation and repair are a conversation away. Find us in Brownsburg at (317) 852-8979.
